This short video is a story pitch for JOUR3111: Digital Journalism outlining a story on Australia's unemployment rates and the people and policies behind them.

Inequality undermines the fairness of our economic system and leads to division within society.
Evidence shows that countries with lower inequality tend to have faster and more lasting economic growth; and that countries with high inequality can experience high levels of violence, suicide, obesity, mental illness, imprisonment and shorter life expectancy.
Inequality means that those in the lower groups don’t have the same access to opportunities as those in the higher groups. For example,
someone in the lowest group would find it more difficult to get a loan to start a business or pay for an advanced university degree than someone in the highest group.
Wealthier people can afford not to rely on shared services, such as public schools and public hospitals, by utilising private services. When this happens, they have less interest in supporting such shared services, leading to a more divided society.
What can we do about inequality?
So far, government policies have protected Australia from more severe inequality. But if we aren’t careful, changes to these policies will mean increasing inequality. For example, when we cut income support, we drag people who rely on it further down the inequality scale.
Another example is tax breaks for people on high incomes, which can mean that they don’t have to pay their fair share.

Crash Course

Plot

Crash Course centers on a group of high schoolers in a driver’s education class; many for the second or third time. The recently divorced teacher, super-passive Larry Pearl, is on thin ice with the football fanatic principal, Principal Paulson, who is being pressured by the district superintendent to raise driver’s education completion rates or lose his coveted football program. With this in mind, Principal Paulson and his assistant, with a secret desire for his job, Abner Frasier, hire an outside driver’s education instructor with a very tough reputation, Edna Savage, aka E.W. Savage, who quickly takes control of the class.

The plot focuses mostly on the students and their interactions with their teachers and each other. In the beginning, Rico is the loner with just a few friends, Chadley is the bookish nerd with few friends who longs to be cool and also longs to be a part of Vanessa’s life who is the young, friendly and attractive girl who had to fake her mother’s signature on her driver’s education permission slip. Kichi is the hip-hop Asian kid who often raps what he has to say and constantly flirts with Maria, the rich foreign girl who thinks that the right-of-way on the roadways always goes to (insert awesomely fake foreign Latino accent) “my father’s limo”. Finally you have stereotypical football meathead J.J., who needs to pass his English exam to keep his eligibility and constantly asks out and gets rejected by Alice, the tomboy whose father owns “Santini & Son” Concrete Company. Alice is portrayed as being the “son” her father wanted.

Human rights

Human rights are moral principles or norms, that describe certain standards of human behavior, and are regularly protected as legal rights in municipal and international law. They are commonly understood as inalienable fundamental rights "to which a person is inherently entitled simply because she or he is a human being," and which are "inherent in all human beings" regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status. They are applicable everywhere and at every time in the sense of being universal, and they are egalitarian in the sense of being the same for everyone. They require empathy and the rule of law and impose an obligation on persons to respect the human rights of others. They should not be taken away except as a result of due process based on specific circumstances; for example, human rights may include freedom from unlawful imprisonment, torture, and execution.

The two main instruments of fiscal policy are changes in the level and composition of taxation and government spending in various sectors. These changes can affect the following macroeconomic variables, amongst others, in an economy:

Fiscal policy can be distinguished from monetary policy, in that fiscal policy deals with taxation and government spending and is often administered by an executive under laws of a legislature, whereas monetary policy deals with the money supply, lending rates and interest rates and is often administered by a central bank.

How laws are made - Parliament

The law governs our lives from the day we are born to the day we die. So where do our laws come from?

Reserve Bank of Australia - Monetary Policy Framework

The Reserve Bank of Australia is responsible for Australia's monetary policy. Its monetary policy objective is defined as an ‘inflation target’ of consumer price inflation of 2–3 per cent, on average, over the medium term. To meet this, the Bank influences interest rates in the economy by setting a target for ‘the cash rate’. Influencing interest rates in this way affects the behaviour of borrowers and lenders, economic activity and ultimately the rate of inflation.

Lateline interview on Australia's migration policies

Monetary and Fiscal Policy: Crash Course Government and Politics #48

Today, Craig is going to dive into the controversy of monetary and fiscal policy. Monetary and fiscal policy are ways the government, and most notably the Federal Reserve, influences the economy - for better or for worse. So we’re going to start by looking at monetary policy, and specifically how the Federal Reserve uses interests rates as a means of controlling (or at least attempting to control) inflation. We’ll then move onto fiscal policy - that is the government’s use of taxation to raise and spend money. It’s all, well, pretty controversial, but as it seems Americans hate taxes the most, monetary policy is most often used - meaning that the Federal Reserve plays a hugely significant role in steering the U.S. economy.

Nationwide rallies slam Australia's policies on refugees

Thousands of Sydney Residents spent their Palm Sunday not on a sunny beach but in heavy rainfall in the city's Hyde Park. They were there to show support for refugees currently locked away in Australian detention centers.
The protesters gathered here in Sydney's Hyde park are united in one front and despite the harsh weather condition they have a strong message for the government, to release the refugees and stop the offshore processing. The demonstrators called on the government to end its controversial policies. Australian authorities send asylum seekers --- including children --- to offshore camps for detention and processing. This has brought criticism within the parliament as well. Rallies were also held in other Australian cities against the government's polices towards refugees and immigrants. However, amid the widespread condemnation, the Australian immigration minister claims that no boats have arrived in the country in more than three months since the introduction of the operation sovereign borders.

Today, Craig is going to dive into the controversy of monetary and fiscal policy. Monetary and fiscal policy are ways the government, and most notably the Federal Reserve, influences the economy - for better or for worse. So we’re going to start by looking at monetary policy, and specifically how the Federal Reserve uses interests rates as a means of controlling (or at least attempting to control) inflation. We’ll then move onto fiscal policy - that is the government’s use of taxation to raise and spend money. It’s all, well, pretty controversial, but as it seems Americans hate taxes the most, monetary policy is most often used - meaning that the Federal Reserve plays a hugely significant role in steering the U.S. economy.

Thousands of Sydney Residents spent their Palm Sunday not on a sunny beach but in heavy rainfall in the city's Hyde Park. They were there to show support for refugees currently locked away in Australian detention centers.
The protesters gathered here in Sydney's Hyde park are united in one front and despite the harsh weather condition they have a strong message for the government, to release the refugees and stop the offshore processing. The demonstrators called on the government to end its controversial policies. Australian authorities send asylum seekers --- including children --- to offshore camps for detention and processing. This has brought criticism within the parliament as well. Rallies were also held in other Australian cities against the government's polices towards refugees and immigrants. However, amid the widespread condemnation, the Australian immigration minister claims that no boats have arrived in the country in more than three months since the introduction of the operation sovereign borders.

A number of people have met with me over the last few weeks as part of the #LetThemStay campaign. They are decent people motivated by a sense of compassion. This is a complex issue where people of good faith can disagree. However, there are some fundamental principles around which there should not be disagreement.

Some facts about Australia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDagSNXrEFs
In land area, Australia is estimated to be 7,692,024 square Kilometers and the sixth largest nation after Russia, Canada, China, the United States of America and Brazil. It has, however, a relatively small population.
Australia is the only nation to govern an entire continent and its outlying islands. The mainland is the largest island and the smallest, flattest continent on Earth. It lies between 10° and 39° South latitude. The highest point on the mainland, Mount Kosciuszko, is only 2,228 metres.
Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth. Its interior has one of the lowest rainfalls in the world and about three-quarters of the land is arid or semi-arid. Its fertile areas are well-watered, however, and t...

Step by Step guide to Work and Travel Australia

This is a step by step guide to work and travel all of Australia for 1 year price breakdown. Basically you can travel and work and have more travel and still come out of the country with more money then you came with.
Just have to be smart. For example don't go crazy every night spending money at the pub. The pub tab can really rack up especially with the prices. Buy a jug instead of a pint if you go out. Get free vouchers and always pre game. You can go goon route. I have been through many goons and don't go cheap on goon. You can not go wrong with BerriEstate brand (I prefer white). You can also go passion pop for $3 usd a bottle which is wine. If you don't feel wine then go the beer route. Tun beer is 5% alcohol and can buy 30 beers for $20usd and theres also Japanese beer that goes ...

9 Things NOT To Do in Australia

Get more Tips here! www.destinationtips.com
Australia is a vast country with a myriad of natural wonders, metropolitan cities and unique wildlife to explore.
1. Don’t Say “Put Another Shrimp on the Barbie”
This lame slogan was part of a 1980s ad campaign featuring Paul Hogan targeting an American audience to come to Australia. Aussies actually call them "prawns".
2. Don’tUnderestimate Distances
Australia is so big England can fit into it almost 60 times! Apart from long hauls through unforgiving desert, even the more populated routes can take longer to get to than you think.
3. Don’t Take Beach SafetySigns Lightly
Every year people are injured at the beach, some fatally, for not heeding these warnings.
4. Don’t SurfWithoutKnowing the Etiquette

The scent of roasting coffee beans wafts through the air in Melbourne, Australia. This city is serious about its coffee, and if you’re game, you can base an entire Melbourne tour around sampling the offerings from local cafés.
If you’re looking for a little more than a caffeine buzz from your Melbourne sightseeing, you’re in luck. Melbourne sits on the banks of the Yarra River, and you’ve got your pick of cathedrals, parks, and giant buildings to explore, as well as an extensive streetcar network to help you get from one place to the next. Ready for a delicious meal? Take the tram to the Southbank neighborhood, where you can enjoy lunch at a café along the riverfront.
Melbourne’s locals love art, and the inner city laneways are jammed with street artists painting over the external walls of buildings. Don’t worry; these artists have a permit and are sanctioned by the city. You can spend hours examining the artwork and talking to the artists about their inspiration, and then follow it up with a trip to Queen Victoria Market. You’ll find hundreds of stalls here devoted to selling delicious fresh produce, local crafts, and yes, more coffee. We hope you like caffeine.
Cap off the day with a little bit of history when you visit Luna Park™. This theme park, established in 1912, features one of the world’s oldest roller coasters and a number of additional vintage rides. Just make sure you let your lunch settle before you ride—the old coaster really gets rolling!

Headsouth toBurleigh Heads next, where you will be met with a national park and ideal surf breaks. This area is known as an aboriginal gathering place. Once you’ve had your fill of sun-soaked activities in Burleigh Head, head even further south to Coolangatta, a gateway for international travelers and home to the likes of sheltered beaches, a river, and plenty of shady parkland.
Remember that Gold Coast also happens to be the theme park capital of Australia, which helps drive Gold Coast tourism and serves as a nice complement to the lazy beach life also available. After hitting the water for some surf, go to Dreamworld, which is the largest theme park in Australia, and get an adrenaline rush on one of the many rollercoasters. SeaWorld™ and Warner Bros.® Movie World™ are also nearby.
Top off your trip down under with a trip to Mount Tamorine, a 30 minute drive inland from the coast. On the ridge of a volcano, Mount Tamborine offers a bounty rainforest trails and you can sip on local wines in Tamborine Village.

Australia’sGold Coast is in the heart of subtropical Queensland, rife with natural beauty and a human spirit dedicated to vitality, fun, and enjoying life. The skyline of Gold Coast practically dips its toes in the ocean, and much of the area is rich in lush greenery and waterfalls. The north coast of this city began as a vacation retreat in the 1850’s, and maintains its position as the Gold Coast’s heart and soul of entertainment and surfing.
Many Gold Coast tours begin in the north and work their way south. The atmosphere in the north is quite bustling, while the south coast has a slower vibe and is a bit more relaxed. Start your trip to Gold Coast with a trip to the SkyPoint observation deck, one of the Gold Coast sightseeing gems. The deck grants stunning views of area beaches, parks, and water.
Headsouth toBurleigh Heads next, where you will be met with a national park and ideal surf breaks. This area is known as an aboriginal gathering place. Once you’ve had your fill of sun-soaked activities in Burleigh Head, head even further south to Coolangatta, a gateway for international travelers and home to the likes of sheltered beaches, a river, and plenty of shady parkland.
Remember that Gold Coast also happens to be the theme park capital of Australia, which helps drive Gold Coast tourism and serves as a nice complement to the lazy beach life also available. After hitting the water for some surf, go to Dreamworld, which is the largest theme park in Australia, and get an adrenaline rush on one of the many rollercoasters. SeaWorld™ and Warner Bros.® Movie World™ are also nearby.
Top off your trip down under with a trip to Mount Tamorine, a 30 minute drive inland from the coast. On the ridge of a volcano, Mount Tamborine offers a bounty rainforest trails and you can sip on local wines in Tamborine Village.
What will you do on your next trip to the Gold Coast?

Some facts about Australia
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDagSNXrEFs
In land area, Australia is estimated to be 7,692,024 square Kilometers and the sixth largest nation after Russia, Canada, China, the United States of America and Brazil. It has, however, a relatively small population.
Australia is the only nation to govern an entire continent and its outlying islands. The mainland is the largest island and the smallest, flattest continent on Earth. It lies between 10° and 39° South latitude. The highest point on the mainland, Mount Kosciuszko, is only 2,228 metres.
Australia is the driest inhabited continent on earth. Its interior has one of the lowest rainfalls in the world and about three-quarters of the land is arid or semi-arid. Its fertile areas are well-watered, however, and these are used very effectively to help feed the world. Sheep and cattle graze in dry country, but care must be taken with the soil. Some grazing land became desert when the long cycles that influence rainfall in Australia turned to drought.
The Australian federation consists of six States and two Territories. Most inland borders follow lines of longitude and latitude. The largest State, Western Australia, is about the same size as Western Europe.
Economy
Australia has a developed modern market economy and has had one of the most outstanding economies of the world in recent years with high-growth, low-inflation and low interest rates. Over the past decade, inflation has typically been 2–3% and the base interest rate 5–6%. There is an efficient government sector, a flexible labour market and a very competitive business sector.
Since 1992 Australia has averaged greater than 3 per cent economic growth and recorded over 17 consecutive years. This economic stability places Australia in the top echelon of developed countries in terms of sustained rates of growth.
The Australian economy is dominated by its service sector, representing 68% of AustralianGDP. The agricultural and mining sectors account for 57% of the nation’s exports.
With its abundant physical resources, Australia has enjoyed a high standard of living since the nineteenth century. Australia is a major exporter of agricultural products, particularly wheat and wool, minerals such as iron-ore and gold, and energy in the forms of liquified natural gas and coal. It has made a comparatively large investment in social infrastructure, including education, training, health and transport.
According to the Reserve Bank of Australia, Australian per capita GDP growth is higher than that of New Zealand, US, Canada and The Netherlands. The past performance of the Australian economy has been heavily influenced by US, Japanese and Chinese economic growth.
ImmigrationAustralia’s culturally diverse society includes its Indigenous peoples who arrived more than 50,000 years ago, and settlers from countries all around the world.
Immigration is an important feature of Australian society. Since 1945, over six million people from 200 countries have come to Australia as new settlers. Migrants have made a major contribution to shaping modern Australia.People born overseas make up almost one quarter of the total population.
The federal government sets immigration intake numbers on a yearly basis. Australia’s immigration policies are non-discriminatory and all applicants to migrate must meet the same selection criteria.
In recent years the mandatory detention of unauthorised arrivals with the intention of applying for refugee status (asylum seekers) by boat has generated great levels of controversy.
Mandatory detention laws were introduced in Australia by the Keating Labor government, with bipartisan support, in 1992. The legislation was proposed as a result of an influx of Vietnamese, Chinese, and Cambodian refugees over the previous few years.

Australia is world famous for its natural wonders and wide open spaces, its beaches, deserts, "the bush", and "the Outback".
Australia is one of the world's most highly urbanised countries; it is well known for the attractions of its large cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and Perth.
WildlifeAustralian flora and fauna is unique to the island, the result of having been isolated from the rest of the world for millions of years. Amongst Australian animals are a large group of marsupials (mammals with a pouch) and monotremes (mammals that lay eggs). Just some of the animal icons of Australia are the kangaroo (national symbol) and the koala. A visit to Australia would not be complete without taking the chance to see some of these animals in their natural environment.
Wildlife parks and zoos
Wildlife parks and zoos are in every capital city, but also check out the animal parks if you are passing through smaller towns, like Mildura or Mogo, or staying on Hamilton Island. See the WarrawongFauna Sanctuary if you are in South Australia, or visit the koalas with best view in the world, at Taronga Zoo in Sydney.
In the wild
Kangaroos and wallabies reside in national parks all around the country. You won't see any kangaroos hopping down the street in Central Sydney, but they are common on the outskirts of most urban areas. There is also a famous group which make their home on the of grounds of the University of the Sunshine Coast, in Queensland.
Wombats and echidna are also common, but harder to find due to their camouflage and tunnelling. See lots of echidnas on Kangaroo Island.
Koalas are present in forests around Australia, but are very notoriously hard to spot, and walking around looking upwards into the boughs of trees will usually send you sprawling over a tree root. Best seen during the day, there is a thriving and friendly population on Raymond Island near Paynesville in Victoria. You have a good chance on Otway Coast, on the Great Ocean Road, or even in the National Park walk near Noosa on the Sunshine Coast.
Emu are more common in central Australia. You will certainly see some if you venture to the outback national park at Currawinya
Platypus are found in reedy flowing creeks with soft river banks in Victoria, Southern New South Wales, and the very southern region of Queensland - seen at dusk and dawn - you have to have a bit of luck to see one. Try the platypus reserves in Bombala or Delegate in New South Wales, or in Emu Creek at Skipton just out of Ballarat.
Landmarks
Australia has many landmarks, famous the world over. From Uluru in the red centre, to the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Opera House in Sydney.
The unusual
See some of the Big things in Australia.
Do in Australia
==========
FamilyDays Out, [18]. Fun things for to do with the kids in Australia.
Swim
in the surf. Australia has seemingly endless sandy beaches. Follow the crowds to the world famous Bondi Beach in Sydney, or Surfers Paradise on the Gold Coast. Or find a stretch all for yourself (but beware of dangerous rips on beaches, it is considerably safer to find a patrolled beach). The surf is smaller and warmer in the TropicalNorth, where the reef breaks the swell, and larger and colder in the south with waves rolling in from the Southern Ocean. (And yes, in the middle it is just right).
in calm tropical oceans. Cable Beach in Broome is swept pristine daily by the tide, has perfect sand, and warm water - go in winter.
in thermal pools. South of Darwin there are many natural thermal pools such as Berry Springs & Mataranka, surrounded by palms and tropical foliage.
in freshwater lakes. Inland Australia tends to be dry, but there are freshwater lakes where you would least expect them. Explore inland of Cairns at the Atherton Tablelands, or head outback to the Currawinya National Park.
in rivers. If its hot, and there is water, there will be a place to swim. Wherever you are, just ask around for the favourite swimming spot, with a waterhole and rope to swing on. Watch out for crocodiles.
in man-made pools. The local swimming pool is often the hub of community life on a summer Sunday in the country towns of New South Wales and Victoria. Many of the beachside suburbs of Sydney have man made rock pools for swimming by the ocean beaches.
on the beach! Find your spot by the water, and get out the towel. Tropical north in the winter, down south in the summer. As always when in Australia, protect yourself from the sun.

This is a step by step guide to work and travel all of Australia for 1 year price breakdown. Basically you can travel and work and have more travel and still come out of the country with more money then you came with.
Just have to be smart. For example don't go crazy every night spending money at the pub. The pub tab can really rack up especially with the prices. Buy a jug instead of a pint if you go out. Get free vouchers and always pre game. You can go goon route. I have been through many goons and don't go cheap on goon. You can not go wrong with BerriEstate brand (I prefer white). You can also go passion pop for $3 usd a bottle which is wine. If you don't feel wine then go the beer route. Tun beer is 5% alcohol and can buy 30 beers for $20usd and theres also Japanese beer that goes for same price but per six pack and they taste good! If you feel spirits then they are about the same if not a lil more and cheaper then here in the USA.
This is a guide for a USA audience so I stuck with one currency, measurement, and visa type. You can always convert. Euro is about the same as the usd and the pound is a bit stronger. The working holiday visas are either a 417 or 462 but there others such as student visa, sponsorship visa, skilled worker visa.
Enjoy and leave a thumbs up if you have a chance and if you have any questions feel free to comment below. Theres a lot of information on the internet but I like to keep it real.

Australia is a vast country with a myriad of natural wonders, metropolitan cities and unique wildlife to explore.
1. Don’t Say “Put Another Shrimp on the Barbie”
This lame slogan was part of a 1980s ad campaign featuring Paul Hogan targeting an American audience to come to Australia. Aussies actually call them "prawns".
2. Don’tUnderestimate Distances
Australia is so big England can fit into it almost 60 times! Apart from long hauls through unforgiving desert, even the more populated routes can take longer to get to than you think.
3. Don’t Take Beach SafetySigns Lightly
Every year people are injured at the beach, some fatally, for not heeding these warnings.
4. Don’t SurfWithoutKnowing the Etiquette
Well, for example, the person closest to the peak of the break has the right to ride it. Don’t drop into another person’s wave. Paddle outside of the zone where a lineup of surfers might be coming at you. Secure your leg rope and don’t be a wave hog.
5. Don’t Climb Uluru
The views at the top of the rock are phenomenal, and it’s not a particularly difficult 348 meter climb. Even the 35 deaths from scaling the rock were mostly heart attacks. However, climbing this sacred, spiritual, monolith is considered offensive and disrespectful to the local Anangu people. So be respectful and skip the climb!
6. Don’t Pet the Dingos
They may look like cute pooches but they're basically wild dogs so don’t pet them or encourage them around your picnic site. There have been a handful of high-profile attacks so be wary.
7. Don’t Go to Fraser Island with an Inexperienced Driver
This is a popular thing to do as a backpacker. However, make sure that you have an experienced 4WD driver. One of the major roads there is literally sand on the beach, so deflate your tires and pay attention to the tides. Don't be the idiot who drives around the Maheno wreck and then needs a rescue.
8. Don’t “Root” For a TeamDon't ask an Aussie which football team they’re rooting for, you might get some strange looks.
One last thing to Know Before You Go;
9. Don’t BelieveStories of Drop BearsDrop bear lore is legendary down under. These koala-like creatures live in the trees and can drop down upon unsuspecting people. But fear not! There is a strong repellent to avoid these beasts. Just spread Vegemite behind your ears.

The small pacific island nations of Papua New Guinea and Nauru host what many call Australia's offshore prisons for refugees.
Labelled "regional processing centres" by the Australian government, bilateral arrangements enable Australia's government to maintain power and control, but assume less responsibility for the refugees who are forced to live there.
These offshore detention centres are home to around 1,500 asylum seekers who were taken into custody after entering Australian waters without visas.
Many of them have been stuck there in limbo for more than three years.
Both centres are run under secrecy, off-limits to the media and to NGOs like Amnesty International. So what's going on inside?
Are these prisons Australia's Guantanamo Bay?

Nauru: Australia's Guantamo Bay? - Talk to Al Jazeera (In The Field)

In 2013, Australia's government announced a tough new policy towards refugees travelling by boat to its shores. The campaign that went with it was called, "No way. You will not make Australia home".
Its goal was to discourage asylum seekers from entering the country "illegally" - as the government saw it.
Most were coming from countries such as Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar.
Many refugees - having fled their homes - considered themselves stateless.
Their journeys were arduous and complex. Those from Iran, for instance, would travel first to Malaysia, where they could enter without a visa. Then they'd make their way to southernmost Indonesia, and from there they took boats towards Australia's closest islands.

🇦🇺 Australia's New Stolen Generation? | 101 East

Ten years ago, the Australian government apologised to a stolen generation of indigenous people. As children, they'd been victims of national policies that saw them systematically removed from their families.
But today, more indigenous children are being removed than ever before, leading some to ask... is this a new stolen generation?
In this episode of 101 East, a mother reveals the devastating impact of having her four children taken from her. The youngest was 15 months old. "They take your young from you and you have so many taken, you are not whole," says Helen Eason. "Even when they come home as much as they're all there, all the pieces can never ever be put back together."
After a long legal battle, Helen's family was reunited just over a year ago, but she says the scars remain. M...

23. Renewable Energy Policies

Environmental Politics and Law (EVST 255)
The lecture discusses the various factors affecting the expansion of the U.S. renewable energy portfolio, as well as the importance of energy efficiency and changes to current consumption. As a case study, Professor Wargo discusses the nine-year effort to create Cape Wind, a wind farm off the coast of Massachusetts. The project has faced opposition for a number of reasons, including noise and disruption of use of private property. The lecture ties the development of more renewable energy options to issues of property rights and discusses ways to overcome challenges in siting, in noise pollution, and in the impacts on wildlife (i.e. avian mortality as a result of wind farms).

Bill Mitchell: Demystifying Modern Monetary Theory

In a challenge to conventional views on modern monetary and fiscal policy, ProfessorBill Mitchell of Newcastle University in Australia has emerged as one of the foremost exponents of Modern Monetary Theory (MMT), a heterodox challenge to the prevailing paradigms which dominate how mainstream economics is taught and economic policy implemented. In his works, and the interview below, Mitchell presents a coherent analysis of how money is created, how it functions in global exchange rate regimes, and how the mystification of the nature of money has constrained governments, and prevented states from acting in the public interest.

The social experiment of African refugees in outback Australia

A year ago the small rural community of Mingoola on the New South Wales-Queensland border was facing a bleak future. Meanwhile in Western Sydney, refugee advocate Emmanuel Musoni saw problems affecting people in his community who’d come from war-ravaged countries of central Africa.
When they were put in contact late last year, they saw a solution to both their problems; a model many now believe could be used to help struggling rural communities across the country.

Australia's John Anderson & Dr. Jordan B Peterson: In Conversation

I was in Australia in mid-March of 2018, speaking in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne. While I was there, I had the privilege of speaking to former Deputy Prime MinisterJohn Anderson (Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/johnandersonao/), who is described accurately on Wikipedia as "handsome, well-educated and well-spoken."
Mr. Anderson introduced one of my Australian lectures. We also had the opportunity to talk together for a few hours, and to complete this interview. We discussed many things -- responsibility, freedom, meaning in life, the polarization of viewpoints in the West, the ideological use of language and identity politics.
It seems to me that the sensible fiscal policies Mr. Anderson pursued during his governmental tenure in Australia constitute a model for good governance in...

Paul Keating - our role in Asia in the Trump era

The election of Trump and the victory of the Brexit movement are the most obvious examples of the populism driving countries to become more insular. This combined with China's return to a power of the first order means that Australia faces an increasingly uncertain world.
Hear from former Prime MinisterPaul Keating about the path Australia should forge in this rapidly changing world. He has long argued a greater independence in Australian foreign policy could be beneficial and allow more focus on our immediate neighbours: Asian countries to our north.
Speakers:
The Hon. Paul Keating
Few Australians have thought more deeply, originally and provocatively on Australia's foreign policy challenges than Paul Keating. This is a unique opportunity to hear his thinking on a 'new' world with Donald...

Work health and safety Legislation - the basics

This webinar is a general overview of the work health and safety legislation and how it applies to your business.

Hepatitis B in Emerging Communities in Western Australia

Chronic Hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a serious and common infectious disease of the liver, affecting millions of people globally. It accounts for 60-80% of primary liver cancer cases and contributes to 1 in 4 premature deaths. GPs across WA who work with priority populations, and practice in regions with a high prevalence of chronic HBV, play a crucial role in reducing the burden of HBV and liver cancer through opportunistic testing and ongoing follow-up.
To coincide with World Hepatitis Day (28 July 2016), this webinar provides an overview of the global burden of disease caused by chronic HBV, map the prevalence of HBV in WA, and discuss the priority populations and current testing and immunisation policies as outlined in the NationalHepatitis B Testing Policy.

The small pacific island nations of Papua New Guinea and Nauru host what many call Australia's offshore prisons for refugees.
Labelled "regional processing centres" by the Australian government, bilateral arrangements enable Australia's government to maintain power and control, but assume less responsibility for the refugees who are forced to live there.
These offshore detention centres are home to around 1,500 asylum seekers who were taken into custody after entering Australian waters without visas.
Many of them have been stuck there in limbo for more than three years.
Both centres are run under secrecy, off-limits to the media and to NGOs like Amnesty International. So what's going on inside?
Are these prisons Australia's Guantanamo Bay?
Or a necessary deterrent, which helps to save the lives of refugees and allows Australia to run a "generous" orderly programme of permanent refugee resettlement?

Nauru: Australia's Guantamo Bay? - Talk to Al Jazeera (In The Field)

In 2013, Australia's government announced a tough new policy towards refugees travelling by boat to its shores. The campaign that went with it was called, "No way. You will not make Australia home".
Its goal was to discourage asylum seekers from entering the country "illegally" - as the government saw it.
Most were coming from countries such as Somalia, Iraq, Iran, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Myanmar.
Many refugees - having fled their homes - considered themselves stateless.
Their journeys were arduous and complex. Those from Iran, for instance, would travel first to Malaysia, where they could enter without a visa. Then they'd make their way to southernmost Indonesia, and from there they took boats towards Australia's closest islands.
The trips typically involved people smugglers and dangerous - sometimes deadly - journeys on boats that were often overloaded and unseaworthy.
Of the boats intercepted at sea by the Australian Border Force, many were forcibly turned back to where they'd come from. But passengers on some - and all those who did make it into Australian waters - were taken into custody, then deported, flown to neighbouring countries.
There, in Nauru and on Papua New Guinea's Manus Island, they are still held in what Australia's government calls "regional processing centres".
Nauru is a tiny 29 square kilometre island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
That small independent country - a member of the United Nations - has played a central role in the history of Australia's refugee policies.
Nauru's "detention centre" first opened in 2001, under a policy brought in by Australia's conservative Liberal Party - the so-called "Pacific Solution".
But this all changed when Kevin Rudd, from the centre-left Labour party, came to power in 2007. Rudd closed Nauru's centre and most of the refugees were relocated to Australia.
But then as the number of asylum seekers arriving in Australia by boat started going back up, the Labour Party's government was forced to reconsider. The centre reopened in 2012.
Today, the island's detention centre is home to almost 500 people, including about 50 children.
Many of them have been there for more than three years.
But what's going on inside? Both the Nauruan and Papua New Guinean detention centres are run under a veil of secrecy, off-limits to the media and to NGOs like Amnesty International.
People working there are not allowed to talk about what they have seen. Why?
Talk to Al Jazeera sits down with former employees who have decided to break their silence to tell us about the situation inside Australia's offshore detention centres.
Are they, as the government says, having the desired effect, by discouraging people from making dangerous journeys? But are they also, as the people we spoke to say, dehumanising and dangerous?
We spoke to Evan Davis, a teacher who used to work with children living in the Australian-run camp in Nauru. Despite secrecy provisions limiting the ability of staff to talk, he decided to share his experience.
"It struck me straight away that the place was more like a military camp, a prison, more than anything else, that was efficiently run," he says. The children were referred to by personnel as numbers, not names, and Davis said the teachers endeavoured to make a point of learning the children's names.
JudithReem used to teach secondary school children on Nauru. She, herself, comes from a family of Bosnian refugees to Australia, which is one of the reasons she decided to speak out publicly. The tents where people lived, she says, she were not designed for habitation, and cultural considerations, such as spaces for people to pray, were not taken into account.
Judith Reem feels particularly bad about having prepared the children for a life in Australia which was never going to happen.
"I feel, that in retrospect, I was a part of the lie, because I was teaching them conversational English for life in Australia and that just hasn't happened," she says. The conditions were worse than in a prison, Reem says.
"Some of the children in the camp can't remember life before the camp because they were so little when they arrived," she says.
"The cloak of secrecy around it [the camps] is what allows us this plausible deniability, which is hopefully a luxury I can take away."
JenniferRose, a former elementary school teacher in Nauru, believes Australia needs to take a different approach when it comes to dealing with asylum seekers.
"How could you not be affected by seeing children retraumatised by a system that Australia has set up?" Rose asks.

Ten years ago, the Australian government apologised to a stolen generation of indigenous people. As children, they'd been victims of national policies that saw them systematically removed from their families.
But today, more indigenous children are being removed than ever before, leading some to ask... is this a new stolen generation?
In this episode of 101 East, a mother reveals the devastating impact of having her four children taken from her. The youngest was 15 months old. "They take your young from you and you have so many taken, you are not whole," says Helen Eason. "Even when they come home as much as they're all there, all the pieces can never ever be put back together."
After a long legal battle, Helen's family was reunited just over a year ago, but she says the scars remain. Meanwhile, a 16-year-old girl tells 101 East how she has grown up in a cycle of abuse, first at home and then in residential care.
In the past decade, the number of indigenous children being removed from their families has almost doubled. They're almost 10 times more likely to be placed in out-of-home care than non-indigenous children.
With the debate over how best to care for children at risk creating bitter divisions in Australia, 101 East investigates the crisis facing indigenous families and the child protection system in charge of removing children.

It seems to me that the sensible fiscal policies Mr. Anderson pursued during his governmental tenure in Australia constitute a model for good governance in the West.

Inequality in Australia: a nation divided

Inequality undermines the fairness of our economic system and leads to division within society.
Evidence shows that countries with lower inequality tend to have faster and more lasting economic growth; and that countries with high inequality can experience high levels of violence, suicide, obesity, mental illness, imprisonment and shorter life expectancy.
Inequality means that those in the lower groups don’t have the same access to opportunities as those in the higher groups. For example,
someone in the lowest group would find it more difficult to get a loan to start a business or pay for an advanced university degree than someone in the highest group.
Wealthier people can afford not to rely on shared services, such as public schools and public hospitals, by utilising private services. When this happens, they have less interest in supporting such shared services, leading to a more divided society.
What can we do about inequality?
So far, government policies have protected Australia from more severe inequality. But if we aren’t careful, changes to these policies will mean increasing inequality. For example, when we cut income support, we drag people who rely on it further down the inequality scale.
Another example is tax breaks for people on high incomes, which can mean that they don’t have to pay their fair share.

How laws are made - Parliament

The law governs our lives from the day we are born to the day we die. So where do our laws come from?

Ready for an adventure? Click play on our travel guide video to uncover some of the best things to do in Syndey, Australia.
Established in 1788 as a penal colony, Sydney was once a little rough around the edges, but it has since transformed into a must-visit coastal destination. Today, tourists flock to this city on the east coast of Australia for its pristine beaches, coves, and harbors.
During your romp around the scenic coastline, make a stop at the Syndey Opera House and eye its magnificent architectural design. Looking for a little more adventure? Venture over to the Syndey Harbour Bridge, nicknamed “The Coathanger,” and brave a bridge climb tour. Next, hop on the antique thrill rides at Luna Park, which is a family-friendly favorite that dates back to 1935, or saunter around Darling Harbour. Meanwhile, if you’d prefer to make a splash, dive into the waves at Bondi Beach or hang ten at nearby Manly Beach.
Dabble in the city’s history, architecture, and beach towns, and embark on several Sydney tours during your next trip to the capital of New South Walves. To jump-start your adventure and get more tips and ideas on how to spend your Sydney sojourn, check out our travel guide video.
